Ashtanga Vinyasa

About this event

Ashtanga Yoga is a traditional, breath-led practice that follows a set sequence of postures designed to build heat, strength, and inner focus. With each movement linked intentionally to breath, the practice creates a steady rhythm that supports discipline, clarity, mindful progression and deeper connection to the present moment. Guided by Nareh's calm and grounding teaching style, students are invited to move with awareness and curiosity as they explore the structure of the sequence. The repetition of the postures offers a powerful opportunity to observe your body, your mind, and your breath in a consistent, supportive way. This class is taught in a traditional manner: No music is played- allowing you to fully hear your breath and find your own pace. Water is not recommended during Ashtanga practice, as it calls the internal heat (agni) that Ashtanga aims to build. Hydrate before and after instead. Yoga mats are provided for all students. While Lila offers props (blocks, straps, bolsters, blankets), Ashtanga is traditionally practiced without props, and we encourage students to try practicing without them whenever possible. A towel is recommended, as this practice builds natural heat from within. Most importantly, we encourage you to come with an open mind- whether you are new to Ashtanga or deepening your practice. This class offers a structured yet personal experience that meets you exactly where you are, helping you grow with steadiness, breath, and intention.
